Lecture 11 Spreading
Spreading… • Shade sequence / Shade Card • Correct ply direction • Alignment of plies • Correct Ply tension • Fabric faults • Static Charges • Distortion of spread • Fusion of plies
2- Ply direction… • Symmetric fabric • The fabrics which are same on both the sides • Asymmetric fabric • Different face and back sides • Directional fabrics • Fabrics are same from end to end • Non-directional fabrics • Fabrics are different from end to end
Spreading Types • Face-up and Nape one way • Face-up and Nape either way • Face to face and Nape one way • Face to face and Nape either way
3- Alignment of plies • The plies should properly be aligned both length and width wise • Stripers / check fabrics are the biggest challenge • Spikes may be used
4- Correct ply tension • Tension during spreading should be correct. • Less tension means irregular fullness • More tension means tightness which finally result in contracted fabric pieces in sewing
5- Fabric Faults • Fabric faults should be eliminated during spreading • Splice Mark • Pair backing
6- Static Charges • In synthetic materials, Static charges may develop due to the friction of fabric to the machine parts • Change the way of fabric through machine • Increase humidity • Earth the lay
7- Distortion of spread • During manual cutting, the spread may be distorted due to the base plate of the cutter • Glazed paper is used to avoid it
8- Fusion of plies • Edges of fabrics (thermoplastic) may be fused together during cutting due to the heated blade of cutter • Anti-fusion paper may be used to avoid fusion
